Welcome to Jolly Learning Video for the English classroom For the language teacher, YouTube may be nothing less than one of the best sources of material the classroom has ever seen. In this article, I would like to share 12 clips that I have used in my own classroom. I hope that each clip will be representative of a type of video that may be of particular interest to language teachers. Note: In this article, we will be examining a number of clips that are hosted on the video-sharing site YouTube. Unfortunately, the site is blocked in a number of countries and in such cases the clips will not be accessible. We hope, however, that many of the principles that we examine throughout the month will apply to video in general and will be of interest to you regardless of the specific video sites that you use. 1. Some poems are best appreciated when they are heard rather than read. For language teachers, a visual element increases the possibilities for using any text in the classroom. 2. 3. 4. Is it real? The Kobe Bryant Aston Martin jump is not real. 5.

Adrian’s Pron Chart Blog | Practical discovery of English pronunciation School subjects - speaking activities Speaking activities are the most important component of English courses using communicative approach. However, it is very difficult to find quality speaking activities that would work. That is why I would like to publish a speaking activity here once a week. In the first post I offer you two pair speaking activities using school subjects and the verb HAVE. School subjects – language for the activity To be able to complete the task successfully, students will need the following sets of language: the verb HAVE (or have got) and the names of the school subjects. If you have not taught the school subjects yet, it is necessary to do so before you start the speaking activities. The other set of language your students need to know is the usage of the verb HAVE for questions like “What subject has she got on Monday?” School subjects – speaking activities In my experience students speak most when they work in pairs or groups of three. The first activity is called Information gap.

Phonetics: Beats and Rhythm –[Multimedia-English] One of the things that makes English difficult to understand for foreign students is its particular rhythm. Many languages are syllabic, that means that every syllable takes the same amount of time to pronounce. In some languages stressed syllables take longer than unstressed syllables, but still, the pronunciation unit is the syllable. English is different, we don't care about syllables, we don't even care about words, it's all about beats (sound units). But not all words are affected in the same way. 1- Content words the words with meaning (nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs) 2- Grammatical words words with no meaning, but they build the grammatical structure of the sentence (prepositions, articles, verb particles, pronouns, etc.) Every sound unit (beat) has a content word, which is the most important part of it. Here's an example: Hi, What were you doing when I rang an hour ago? Content words hi, doing, rang, hourStructure words HI / what were you DOing / when i RANG / an HOUR ago
